If you have had the bike for 3 years then the cooling system probably has more than that amount of service time. I would recommend flushing the system before installing new coolant. Remember, if you don't use premixed coolant, to use demineralized or at least distilled water to get the proper ratio.

Change coolant every 2 years no matter what. Same with brake/clutch.rear gear oil
I use Peak 50/50 coolant.
